Why Choose the Mersen S085622 High Voltage Motor Protection Fuse?
The Mersen S085622 is a high-performance DIN high voltage back-up fuse-link developed to protect medium voltage motors against damaging short-circuit currents. Part of the established Mersen Limitor® aSJB/D series, it is specifically designed to withstand the repeated peak currents generated during motor starting while providing rapid fault interruption when required.
Manufactured for demanding industrial power systems, the S085622 uses silver-plated copper fuse elements, silver-plated brass terminals and a durable melamine fibreglass body. This robust construction supports reliable electrical performance, effective current limitation and a long operational life in high voltage switchgear and motor control applications.
With a rated voltage of 7.2 kV AC and a rated current of 315 A, the Mersen S085622 is suitable for protecting large medium voltage motors. Its DIN-format construction has an 88 mm diameter, a 442 mm fuse length and an integrated 20 N striker for operation with compatible switchgear tripping or indication mechanisms.

Reliable Protection for Medium Voltage Motors
Medium voltage motor fuse-links must tolerate the substantial inrush currents produced during motor starting without operating unnecessarily. The Mersen S085622 is designed to support these repeated peak currents while responding rapidly to serious short-circuit faults that could otherwise damage motor windings, cables, contactors and associated switchgear.
As a back-up fuse-link, the S085622 is primarily intended for high-current short-circuit protection and should be coordinated with suitable overload protection. When the fuse operates, its integrated striker can actuate a compatible switchgear trip mechanism or provide an indication that the fuse-link requires replacement.

- Industrial motor starters and controlgear.
- Medium voltage motor control centres.
- Mining and quarrying equipment.
- Water and wastewater treatment systems.
